Day 28 254.4 (-13.8!!)

So the first 4 weeks is up and I'm pretty happy. That's almost 2lbs a week! Here are the days I missed:

Sunday: 257.7
Monday: 258.6
Tuesday: 257.3
Wednesday: 257.5
Thursday: 255.7
Friday: 255.1

So there will always be ups and downs, just like a game of chutes and ladders. It might take you going up a couple ladders before you come down, but the game always ends sometime, right?

Day 21! 256.4

3 weeks in. I guess going out last night didn't hurt me too bad lol

Day 20 257.1

11.1 lbs so far since the start of my new diet! 24.2 since Xmas. Wooohoooo! 6.1 more lbs is what I wanna lose for this month but I don't think I'm gonna make it... Lol so I guess I'll roll it over to next month and say I'd like to lose 16.1 by the end of next month, but that doesn't seem reasonable either :/ But I'll definitely take what I can get! I'm going to get drinks with the mom and sister tonight for moms bday... So hopefully my tomorrow post won't be too sad. Until then!

Yey! First 10! 258.2

Wooohoooo :)

Had a bad couple days!

Monday - 262.4
Tuesday - 259.7
Today - 258.6

Sunday decided to go to a Mexican restaurant where i absorbed way too much water. Spent all Monday at work peeing... Just so you know... lol But I seem to be back on track :)

9.8 lbs!! 258.4

Staring the 3rd week and I've almost lost 10 lbs! Doesn't look like I'll get to the claimed 20 lbs in one month, but I'm hoping to at least lose 8 more by the end of march. I think it's doable :) Had moes yesterday, on the diet. "naked bowls" aren't on the menu anymore but they'll still make them for you. I had a bowl, no rice, with chicken and black beans, salsa, fresh and pickled jalapenos, guacamole, and lettuce. Then plopped some more salsa from the salsa bar. I was sad about the no cheese, but I really didn't notice it missing when I was eating it. I wanted to steal my bf's chips really bad to eat it with too... But I didn't :) Our roommate is planning a beach trip for the weekend of April 16th... So I'm hoping to shave off a bit more by then. Maybe 20 more? Maybe since I have a better grasp on this I can lose 20 this coming month? We'll see! :) Well just did an hour of wii fit so it's off to hit the showers.

Day 14 259.9

Only .2 from yesterday, but happy I'm back in the 250's! lol Went to Red Bowl last night for cheat day and it was fantastic! Got chicken Thai red curry :) Now for some wii fit.

Day 13? 260.1 :)

Yey! It went down! lol Happy Friday!

3 in a row!

Well weight hasn't changed yet... Which is more good than bad I think! Certainly don't want it going up or anything. We're back around to cheat day tomorrow. Think we'll be going for sushi :) Did some wii this morning a 3/4 mile walk at lunch, took 45 mins to go around shelly lake after work... Used to take me 35 mins a couple years ago :/ Hopefully I'll get back to that point soon! Did some more wii fit when I got home from shelly. Didn't total an hour today on the wii fit, but that's ok. Finally tried out the weighted boxing gloves, that was awesome :) Well more tomorrow!

261.2 again

Did a lot of exercise today! Felt good. Did 8 mins of wii fit as a warm-up for the day this morning, 12 minute half mile walk at lunch, 25 min bike ride with the bf, and some more wii fit totaling an hour for the day :) Wish I was this motivated every day lol

Day 11 261.2!!!

That means since Xmas I have lost 20.1 lbs! I'm excited. A lot more to go though!

Chili experiment

It was good but too beefy. I think I'll be using some form of chicken next time, or maybe no meat at all! :)

263.2!

Back down a bit. I'm also done with girly time so I'm hoping more water will come off :) I'm about to go throw everything into the crockpot for my first adventure! I'll let you know how that goes in less than 12 hours.

First time...

Got my own crock pot finally!! And I'm going to be making chili for the first time too... And using dried beans for the first time. I'll let you know how it all comes out in about 24 hours :) Soaking the beans now, and just diced up orange and yellow peppers, onion, and 2 fresh jalapeños! Got a tube of lean beef, some chicken broth and some spices... Gonna put it all together before work tomorrow and hopefully come home to yum!

265 again yesterday and today

Yesterday was my day to go back on the diet, but I had a busy day! So back on it today... Time to go scramble some egg beaters!

Hmm did cheat night 265

Went and got nachos last night... And some little powdered sugar donuts. Only had 3 of those, hoping the bf finishes the rest off lol. Now I'm super hungry this morning from the spike and plunge... Wondering if cheat day is worth it :p I'm probably retaining a lot of water from the sodium and from, well, that time. We'll see if I'm back on track for tomorrow!

Day 6! 262.6

And feelin great! 1.3 more lbs and I get to my first 20 lb mark since Xmas. I'm super excited :) 5.6 lbs on the diet so far? That's over a pound a day... Maybe I will hit 20 lbs in 1 month? Yeah buddy! Haha. Maybe I'll just meet my monthly goal... That would be cool. Make me not feel so bad for last month. It's just so crazy... Started womanly time yesterday so I isn't think there'd be any losing around now, ya know? I think this diet is a good mix of balancing blood sugar all day, not intaking the "bad" carbs, and over-all just eating less since you're not hungry all day. It's lovely! Haha. Well got enough time to get dressed and scramble some egg beaters. Cheat day tomorrow!

It's gettin good

I'm still getting faint twinges of wanting some vanilla icecream... But over-all I'm super happy. I'm not hungry all day anymore! I think my blood sugar has hit that point of being pretty even all day. I have a follow up appt with my dr in May, so I'm hoping all my blood tests come back fantastic. Down 3.4 lbs in 4 days which I think is impressive. Still crossing my fingers for a total of 20 this first month =) I'm trying to decide how long I'm going to keep it up too. My first cheat day is Friday, and you'd better believe I can't wait. I like to eat based on cravings... But I haven't really been craving anything... I'd like to go to the Mexican restaurant for some nachos, but I guess we'll see when Friday comes!

Day 5! 264.6

Truckin along nicely, I'd say! My scale and I couldn't come to an agreement this morning... So I hopped on the ol trusty wii fit and did a body test. It informed me I haven't been on in 16 days... So I should probably start doing that daily again :( I miss my balance board buddy lol. But yeah... That's the lowest weight I've seen on the wii, so I was glad to get it up on the graph :) Almost got my BMI to the 38 zone! I think I wanna get it down to 20 - 22... I don't remember what the weights are for that zone, but 18.something seems so... Wrong? Well, time to make breakfast and pack lunch!

So why am I doing this?

Besides the whole being obese thing, I mean... I'd really really like to buy clothes in a normal store. I hate having to pay $30 for a "good" bra. I'd rather spend like $8 and get one of the cute ones! $50 for a pair of jeans in the specialty store blows. I have 1 pair of jeans I can fit into right now, and 2 waiting for after I lose a little more =\ Then after that, multiple sizes down, I have a wardrobe waiting for me. I bought a bunch of stuff a couple years ago when I was determined to lose weight.

The only thing I'm weary about... I don't want anyone to look at me differently than they have been. I don't want to bring upon myself people that suddenly start thinking I'm hot or anything weird like that. I see how my sister is treated and it's kind of gross.

I had fasting labs done at my physical a couple weeks ago... My cholesterol is high, sugar was high, vitamin d was low... She prescribed me a vitamin D supplement, and I've added a couple other supplements... But I'd really like to get back to the place where I can jog again and not have my knees explode. Walking upstairs without dying by the top would be nice too. I'm 25 damnit, I shouldn't be this out of shape! lol. I'll keep ya posted.
